Hi All
Now for the last 2 weeks I have been looking at the Original development thread and the more you look at it the more you see Android 4.0.4 versions pop up.
Could someone please define for me what makes it version 4.0.4 as when iI rip the roms apart all of them in the log files of the Roms say XWLPS or something with a clear Android 4.0.3 next to it.
What confuse me about this is what makes it 4.0.4 when the internals of the DEODEX'ed files all say its 4.0.3?
I pulled all these roms apart because I wanted to see where the 4.0.4 comes from but ... ye
What?
4.0.4 roms are AOKP/CM9/AOSP roms
All ssung roms are 4.0.3 based till now
You may google are the changes between 4.0.3 and 4.0.4

Ok so that being said it would mean that the 4.0.4 is a made up version they gave their roms to be and not a true 4.0.4?
I'm trying to understand this as there will be a official 4.0.4 for the SGS2 and what then? Will they call their roms 4.0.5?
Cause their 4.0.4 wont be anything close to the official 4.0.4 ...
PS... Thanks for the person giving the tread a 1 star rating ... You really take trolling to a new level. Really epic work on you for being a coward rating the topic and not posting who you are.

4.0.4 has some fixes. The reason AOSP/AOKP/CM9 have version 4.0.4 is because they are built from sources directly from Google.
Samsung has yet to release an ICS version with 4.0.4 sources integrated into their version of ICS yet, thus they are still on 4.0.3. I presume once they integrate the 4.0.4 sources, they will also increment their versioning.

Thanks. That clarifies it a bit. Was it sourced from the Nexus? Because I know the Nexus is currently on 4.0.4 and has been for a while from what I could tell.
Why I'm asking and there was a good reason was that I was looking for the source code to build a rom from it but seeing as there are no available Default roms out there I was wondering where it got ported from and who dump the source code on 4.0.3 base versions.

If you want to make a new rom you will have to choose which base you want
Samsung
Samsung apps
4.0.3 for now
Good camera
Samsung apps like wifi direct
Touchwiz
CM9
Build from source
Daily updates (no ****, they update every day)
Some buggs like not so good camera and slow sdcard speed
No samsung apps
ability to switch to 2g only
4.0.4
AOKP
This is basicly CM9 with the rom control app which gives alot of customization
This is my knowledge, everyone can correct me if im wrong
They both have advantages and disadvantages...

I was looking to build a Samsung 4.0.4 rom. Thats why I wanted to look into the Source to update the relevant 4.0.3 framework or lib to make it work. But might just wait then for JB 4.1 to be released in the next month or 2

Wow thanks... You were probably also born knowing everything. You aspire ppl to kill themselves. Hope you are proud of yourself
Could a mod please delete this tread as clearly trying to do something for the community is only left for the elite and those born knowing everything.
Seriously so over this BS with ppl giving crap comments when something is begin asked. If you didn't want to help then don't post its really not that hard to understand is it.

You're welcome, looking forward to your ROM.
Your info is all wrong, instead of getting angry on comments who are iterated by your wrong assumptions, try to learn with open head and delete your wrong info from your head first.

Samsung only released 4.03
Google released the source of 4.04 so oems or whoever can make the rom out of it for their devices.
Thus AOSP rom's are the only ones for S2 that are on 4.04.

Now clearly I'm the noob here but what I have pulled OUT of the latest 4.0.4 build shows something different. So please explain this
And then again I ask the noob question again
Define Android 4.0.4 ???
Ok I can do a build.prop for your placebo

Here you go, try it, and get some compatibility issues on market, and perhaps some other apps
You can get android 4.0.4 changelog here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1481044
Remind that build.prop is just a .txt renamed to .prop, used to define some properties needed for device. Android 4.0.4 content is built on sources, frameworks, all the apps inside, from google source trees, directly forked to CyanogenMod sources.
If you dont believe, just get a fresh CyanogenMod source, and get a fresh AOSP source, and do some diff patchs . Or just look at android/default.xml, and you will see.
Hope this answer your question.

Yes you are a noob, and getting angry over it is wrong.
You already got the answer, just let me add this, as I already told you source is from google but if you are not a manufacturer of a phone you need model specific codes for it to work. So you need Samsung specific codes/drivers.
That's why you see some 4.03 codes.
I give you a very good example that anyone can understand.
i9100G didn't had cm9 until Samsung released ICS for it, and right after that you get cm9 for it.

Hi, all.
This is my first post (I had another account, but I don't remember the details...) and I wish to thank all people working to satisfy the curiosity of stupid newbies like me...
I would like to ask your opinion in order to choose a suitable ROM to speed my S3, which is unlocked by factory.
So, I will give the details:
GT-I9300
Android 4.1.2
Baseband I9300DXEMB1
Kernel 3.0.31-1287119
[email protected]#1
SMP PREEMPT Fri Jun 28 00:40:06 KST
2013
Build JZO54K.I9300XXEMF6
My goal is to eliminate unnecessary apps, like weather and other such. I use it mainly for calling, pics, vids, and internet/social networks.
Can anyone advise or help?
Thanks a lot.
Regards

I currently using temasek rom, and I'm planning to flash JustArchi rom JustArchi's rom thread has a very detail guide to help a newbie flash rom so I recommend you use JusrArchi's rom.
google 2 rom and flash the one you like
If you want to give ArchiDroid a shot here is the link, with a quite good guide written by me - last tab in second post.
However a rom is a matter of taste.

Thread above says it all including the mods message .
Thread closed as its a Best ROM thread.
I have already browsed the forums here. But i really need help. I would like to identify the current ROM that im using. I wil attempt to give as much information as possible.
Under settings i have this:
Android Version - 4.2.2
Baseband - S:i500.04 V.EHO3
Kernel Version - 3.0.84-g5dd3308

Thu Jul 4 15:20:31 EDT 2013 (assuming this is the date of install)
AOKP Version - aokp_fascinatemtd_unofficial_2013-07-04
Build Number - aokp_fascinatemtd-userdebug 4.2.2 JDQ39
eng.brian.20130704.135607 test-keys
Now i partially answered my question with the above. AOKP Version. Perhaps i could use google to find that file. But I want the same MD5 file. as this I know is good. Could someone perhaps guide me a link to this posted XDA file.

TY.. ironic enough I happen to find it. Went to delete the post but my phone wouldnt let me login to XDA..
Kudos To Bdogg for this rom.. Since my original post I have tried running every rom the fassy has thats on XDA. Well anything 4.2.2 and below. This is the only one without any issues whatsoever. Im still using it to this day. To bad there isnt an update to this build.
Recently my Dad bought a phone from Aliexpress that had device specifications that sounded great for what the price of the phone was. It seemed too good to be true however we decided to get it and see what it's like. Looking at the phone the specs are what the product page said it would be however the custom Android ROM installed on the device sucks. I really want to change it however I understand if this is not possible due to it being a knock-off phone that probably has highly specific hardware components.
I've managed to enable OEM Unlocking, and USB debugging.
I'm very new to Android custom ROM installing so I thought I'd ask if anyone can point me in a direction to achieve putting a custom ROM on the phone.

Android Version: 12.0

I bought the same phone on aliexpress. This is garbage, fake. The seller is a fraud. Firmware cannot be installed on such a phone. Watch the video
Hi i have also purchased this same device fake china Samsung s22+ ultra, i checked the device with benchmark and it was showing as Alps, then also discovered that it is an MTK 6580 DEVICE. I thought of an idea to flash the device with the original Samsung rom but somehow i have bricked it and won't turn on anymore and i cant find the right rom for it as the name of the device is not showing up with a rom when I do a search online. although it does show up with a scatter file. can anyone help with this?
